  i've just been typing "su -" all along here and haven't run
into any problems that i've noticed.  perhaps i just don't ever
rely upon PATH being something without explicitly setting it in
my profile or bashrc or script.

  i don't use sudo, i just start a root shell in a particular
terminal when i start up each day and then i only do root
stuff there.
